THE STEAMBOAT BAZAR.

deed; a word must be said about it.
1t is a sort Of arched city, mystic.
rious, and never reached by the light
of day except through large lenses set
in the arched roof. Here people buy
and sell, drink, and eat, and sleep, but
they do not live here. In this immense
confusion of passages, lined with small
shops, one may see little things that
glitter, and behold diminutive people
squat upon a bench sleeping, as mo-
t~ionless as death, awaiting a purchaser
without attracting him, without call
ing him, and almost without desiring
him.
The bazaar is the capital Of bric-a-
brac. 1t II a tortuous confusion of
dark and vermin-infested passages,
where one would love to ramble were
it not for the Jewish guides that harass
you. Every thing manufactured or
grown in the East is brought here, as
if it were q storehouse. 1t is said that
certain shops, with an uninviting look,
conceal beautiful objects, possessing a
fabulous value. This may be true, but
these marvellous things are concealed.
The things to be seen, the things that
are exhibited, are odd and peculiar,
but they are shabby and more often in
very bad taste. Silk and wooden goods
in which the colors of the rainbow are
mingled, headgear and footgear en-
broidercd with gold and silver, opera
comique costumes, beautiful carpets,
inlaid weapons ornamented with pre-
cious stones, glittering jewelry in odd
forms-all these things are heaped up
in picturesque disorder, and attract at
tention On account of the extraordinary
opposition of colors.
Let us accord a special mention to
the place for the druggists, sheltered
III ii retired portion Of the grand bazaar.
All the aromas of the world find a rem
devious in the pharmaceutical section,
there they amalgamate and combine
with II another, and form a perfume
that is complex, acrid. strong, intoxi-
eating and indefinable; that befuddles
some and makes others sleepy, accord
ing to the age and temperament. The
bazaar Of the druggist is visited es-
pecially in times of typhus fever and
cholera, for the Turks look upon the
promenades that they take there, and
the lozenges that they eat. as the best
preservative against epidemics. More

interviewing Henry Ward Beecher.

There are probably but few newspaper re-
porters in this city that have not interviewed
Henry Ward Beecher. The Plymouth pas
tor enjoys great popularity among the re-
porters, for he is accessible, genial, and, as
rule, talkative. He is always ready to en-
gage in a harmless bit of chaff with the news
paper men, but he will not brook insolence.
The last mentioned fact was recently i'm
pressed upon the alleged mind Of swagger-
ing youngster who said that he represented a
Brooklyn paper. A rumor that Mr.. Beecher
was dead got started in some unaccountab le
manner and spread like wildire. Reporters
by the score hurried to Mr.. Beechers house
and were there confronted by the famous
preacher hale and hearty. After a while
along came young man who said to Mr..
Beecher with an impudent grin that he had
been sent by the city editor of The Brooklyn
- ito find out whether Beecher was alive
or dead"
"Well," said the Plymouth pastor, II sup
pose you know who am2"
"Oh, yes" answered the fellow pertly, "but
would like to have it directly from you that
you are not dead"
laid heavy hand on the funny young mans
coat collar. The next instant the young man
was held up in the air and shaken as q dog
would shake sawdust doll. Mr.. Beecher set
him down on the sidewalk not any too gently
and quietly remarked, "Now, you can go to
your city editor and tell him that you have
received actual proof that am alive"-New

A New HereSitv Needed-

All wise reform must commence with rec
ognizing the fact of heredity, and that by
that law human ills are multiplied, and by it
they may be diminished. 1t will do little
good to work for individuals here and there
Such conditions must be created as shall
make new heredity possible. That cannot
be accomplished without improving the en-
vironment of those to be reached. If men
live in rood houses, drink pure water, are
accustomed to frequent sight and contact
with those who are worthy of honor, have
given to them the inspirations which are es-
sential to the best development, the result
will be manifested in the next generation.
The generation following the French revolu-
ton was distinguished by such an epidemic
of nervous diseases as had never been known
in French history. 1t was the result of the
terrific strain upon mind and heart and nerve
of those delirious years-Amory H. Bradford

Did the Jews Contribute to the Popu1a.
ton Great Many Years Ago?
Respecting the Anglo-Israel mania, a SELF
evident and undeniable proof Of an early
settlement Of Israelitish tribes in the United
Kingdom is afforded by names of towns, Of q
nature which historians as well as ethnologists
admit. Everybody will agree that Dover, for
instance, is nothing else than a dialectical
form of the locality Debir Joshua xiii, 26.

haps part of them went over to n-mark,
although not yet claimed by the Danes.
In the name of Dublin is most likely to bS
found a reversed form, that name seeming
to be Dublan, the dwelling Of Dub or Dob.
This word, which means usually in Hebrew
bear, could dalectically mean wolf (hard-
ened from Zeeb). The wolf represents the
tribe of Ben amin Genesis xix, 81, conse-
quently part of the Benjamites settled in
Dublin, and that perhaps in the time of
Jeremiah, who, it is known, came over to Ire

The tribal characteristic Of ''ravening as a
wolff still continues to mark the descendants.

prefix in Celtic localities Could not Syden-

A street paving contractor has Just en-
gagged 500, 900 worth of Dakota paving
stone. The prairie region of Dakota is
about the last place we would think Of
going TO for stone, and yet the deposit
whence this stone is taken is said to be a
most wonderful and magnificent forma-
ton. 1t is called quartzite granite, soft
when quarried and easily sawn out, but
hardening into mass fiinty and hides
tructible and non absorbent. 1t is pro-
nounced by experts O perfect paving
stone. But the strangest thing about it IS
the formation from which it is taken.
This is found about two feet under the
prairie soil surrounding Sioux Falls for
miles and miles, and when the thin soil,
with its stunted growth of grass, is strip
ped OF. there lies the rock, rs smooth
and level as a floor. The tract contains
something like thirty square miles, and
the deposit is several hundred feet thick.
Through the center of ,the tract runs the
Big Sioux river, whose channel is merely
a rift in the rock-a crack formed by The
partial splitting Of the whole mass The
channel is in shape just ike a letter V,
and the surface of the deposit extends
back for several miles precisely at right
angles with the sides Of the crevice.-

The Realistic and the Romantic.

If an author is wise he will adopt the
method TO which he is naturally inclined
by training or temperament; if he is wiser
he viii adopt a judicious commingling OF
both methods as far as his mental powers
will permit; and il he is wisest he Will
succeed in whatever he writes But wise,
wiser or wisest, il is TO be hoped that he viii
not, as Il rule, assume toward his literary
brother the position assumed by the old

Treatment of WhoOpinr Cough.

The following method of disinfection OF
sleeping and dwelling apartments and clothes
is recommended by NJ. Mohn in the treat
ment of whooping cough. 1t is said to cure
the cases Immediately. The children are
washed and clothed i'll clean articles Of dress
and removed To another part of the town.
The bed room and sitting room or nursery are
then Theoretically sealed; all the bedding,
playthings and other articles that cannot be
washed are exposed freely in the room, in
which sulphur is burned in the proportion of
twenty-five grams to the cubic meter of
space. The room remains thus charged with
sulphurous acid for five hours, and is then
freely ventilated. The children return the
same day, and may sleep and play IN the dis
infected rooms-Lancet
